This week has been a little crazy.
Not only did I find out I have a new job that I’ll be starting on Monday, my dad also had surgery.
I spent most of it traveling back and forth from Salinas to Berkeley in order to be there for my dad. The day before I left to Salinas I found out I had been hired for one of the two positions I had applied for last month. I should have been overjoyed except I felt nothing but disappointment because I did not get the position I initially applied for. Needless to say, the timing was not the best when I was already feeling worried about my dad’s pending surgery.
I know I should feel grateful to even have a job soon after graduating from college during a period of high unemployment, but it is only natural to feel disappointment when we don’t get what we want. Even though I am now feeling pretty excited with the new opportunities this other position has in store for me, it was important for me to feel unhappy instead of pretending everything was okay. I feel I have matured and grown up a little from this experience. In some ways I am glad I did not get the other position because I know the best candidate was chosen. Often times people feel entitled to things and cannot accept a loss, but it is important to understand we don’t always get what we want, and sometimes it is a good thing.
My dad’s surgery went well and I officially start my new position Monday. I know this text has nothing to do with the photos (which are from St. Patrick’s Day), but I appreciate if you have read this far because I have been absent and wanted to share more about myself than I am used to. I typically share only the positive moments on my blog, but life isn’t always fun. It is what we make of it and I am glad if you are reading about my ups as well as my downs.
Thanks again for reading and following!
